      Our Constitutions and Statutes tell us that 'the General Chapter is an assembly representative of the whole Institute. It is an expression of the participation of all the Brothers in the life and mission of the Institute, as well as their coresponsibility in its government. It exercises the highest extraordinary authority'

Phrases from the participants

Cesar Augusto  Rojas Carvajal

Brothers and laity of Champagnat, passionate for the proclamation of the Kingdom of God to children and young people, in a wounded world and thirsty for God, in the style of Mary, weaving relationships of fraternity and communion.

Cesar Augusto Rojas Carvajal
Robert Teoh

May the 22nd General Chapter be a Spirit-filled gathering that transforms our Institute into a global entity that lives out our Brotherhood for the world.

Robert Teoh
Alberto Guillermo Aparicio

I have great expectation that we can be, all the brother capitulants together, co-creators of the Marist journey, updating the dream of Marcellin to the present times and the contexts in which it unfolds.
